Turkey, Egypt, and the Squeeze on Russia...

Shereen Salah
About this episode

The podcast discusses growing opposition to Russia's increasing military presence in Libya. Libyans, regardless of affiliation, view Russia's actions as a threat to their sovereignty and desire its withdrawal. Turkey and Egypt, seeking to counter Russian influence and protect their own interests, are exploring collaborative efforts to achieve this goal. Their primary concerns involve the potential for regional instability and the ramifications for their own security and geopolitical ambitions in the region. A key element is the potential shift in power within Libya, with the outcome impacting the regional balance of power between Turkey and Egypt.
